Yeah 6 millions more who will never support Juve once he leaves. We lost the chance of writing history with this management decisions.
Most of his fans see Juve as the wrong club for Ronaldo.
Cant blame them.

who needs him when you can only deliver 0-2 decent balls to him per match..he'd fit better as a poacher in this static team and by sending some long inshallah balls, he still has the speed to get on the end of them..also has the timing to beat the last defender..come on bonbon try those passes

no one creates chances for him. He has to create his own chances and score them

Those times have passed. His characteristics fit those of a poacher now and it takes a coach with courage and authority to change the role of a player at the level of Ronaldo who thinks he is still 23. Pirlo however doesnt have those qualifies.

He plays 90 minutes almost every game so it's understandable tbh

can someone explain why Ronaldo is against playing as a 9? Seems it would be the best place for him nowadays. He’d have more opportunities to score with less of a workload. That seems ideal to me if all I cared about was scoring goals.

He doesn't want any part of hold up play. And he prefers for someone else to occupy the CBs so he can find space.

But still, all his goals are basically cross and inshallah so I'm not sure what really changes if he just plays in the centre.

Fits him perfectly actually and it will benefit his numbers too, both goal and assist. still has enough burst of speed to beat most defenders without the ball and decent of a timing/touch enough to receive the ball behind them..he will get much more chance of headers and tap ins..it's a no brainer..

Even if nothing changes going forward for him, one thing that will change for sure is that our left flank won't be exposed and be a weakness each and every match no matter against Bayern or benevento. That drawback alone is worth trying him as CF who gives a fuck what he wants, a coach with a ball sack would try that %100

Its fine depending on opponent. When we attack all game and oppoenent stays deep, we can sacrifice defensive stability and put someone who likes to wrestle and play with his back to the goal next to Ronaldo, allowing him to be SS or LW. But when we play City, Paris or Bayern and sit back most of the game, then we need wings to defend and we dont need a partner for him so much, because he will have the space he wants anyway. So sign him a CF partner that fits, but make adjustments for each game depending on opponent

There is probably some PR involved. Wingers and attacking midfielders are usually considered better footballers than strikers. Ronaldo positions himself on the wing so that his fanboys can still live the illusion that he’s the flying winger with dribbling skills that he was at Manchester United. In reality he plays like a poacher nowadays.
